Description:
Fujitsu wants its new high performance computing (HPC) to help outer space R&D.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Fujitsu's soon to launch high performance computing (HPC) cloud is already being put to use researching the next generation of space travel.

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) utilized Fujitsus wave analysis solution to conduct large scale electromagnetic wave simulations, used to evaluate the radio wave intensity within the X-ray spectrometer of the space agency's X-ray imaging satellite XRISM.

Utilizing Fujitsus solution, JAXA was reportedly able to generate an experiment environment that simulates observation conditions as in outer
space and conducted evaluations that could not be performed with traditional computing methods. Why does this matter?

Electromagnetic interference between electronic components and communications equipment can be a big issue for users in all types of different fields, from space to standard urban transportation.

Fujitsu claims precise simulations of complex and large-scale electromagnetic wave problems could not be solved with conventional approximation algorithms.

However, using the HPC solution JAXA successfully confirmed that the radio wave intensity in XRISMs X-ray spectrometer is at a level that does not
impact the observation performance of the satellite even in orbit.

"This represents a major technical advance in satellite design," said
Masahiro Tsujimoto, associate professor, JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science. "n the XRISM satellite project, the results of this simulation played an important role in quantitatively evaluating unverified risks and confirming the validity of the design. Interested?

Even if a satellite is out of your budget range, you might still be available to afford some of the technology under the project's hood.

Japanese readers will be able to get access to the computing cloud for
between $400 to $8,000 a month, depending on their requirements, when it launches later this year. READ MORE:
